Yellow cab, Yellow pages, Yellow Snow...
This summer I (again) tried my hand at growing fresh produce. Last year our modest little garden provided us with squash, zucchini, a chili pepper or two and about one ripe tomato. We decided that we planted the tomatoes way too late. So this year, as soon as we were able, we put three tomato plants in the ground and watered them lovingly to ensure our timely arrival of red vegetables. I mean fruit. I mean vegetables...
About six weeks or so ago our little green tomatoes started turning yellow. Not long until they are ripe! Right? Well, we kept waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and our little tomatoes were STILL not red.
By now we have about 15-20 half-way ripe tomatoes on the vine. They've been that way for at least a month.
Finally, I decided to crack one open.
Turns out we planted yellow tomatoes. Very ripe, very yellow tomatoes.
